Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

Sender: Kazumi Receiver: Minoru Subject: what are you doing? Ren, what are you doing?My mood sucks. Have you talked to 'Mom'?She must be very angry with us, I wasn't in the mood to talk to her at all, and when the mail came, I ignored her. Today is the thirteenth day since 'Papa' died. so fast!Me, I make a cross on the calendar every day until the day the murderer is caught. It's sad to do this, but if I don't do it, I won't feel reality, Accidentally sent a letter to 'Dad'.Mr. Sorada means a lot to me, he is really my 'Daddy'. At that time, I was really glad that I learned to surf the Internet, and you should be happy too!

But is it really over?did i mess it up? I don't know who the murderer is, but it wasn't Min, and it wasn't me. I still suspect 'Mom'. Write me back.I sent you letters yesterday and the day before yesterday, but you didn't reply. I am so lonely and full of fear right now, and I really want to see you. Sender: Minoru Receiver: Kazumi Subject: goodbye I have said it beforehand, and this is the last letter. I heard that the police thoroughly investigated 'Mom', She is very angry because you talked nonsense to the police. She's mad at you, and it's none of my business, so don't associate me with you.

'Mom' was in Osaka for company training on the day Mr. Sorada was killed. The police have ruled out her involvement after investigation. However, the criminal police went to her company, It caused her to be watched by her boss, crying that she might be forced to leave the job. She thought it would be fine if the media didn't report it. But as long as she stays in a big company like her, it's over as long as she is investigated by the police. I'm already tired of this incident. Have you read the newspaper?The newspaper also used the anonymous name 'A girl',

I guess the police will arrest 'Woman A'.That's it. I don't admire Mr. Sorada as much as you do. Also as a man, I can't agree with his approach, This is not an afterthought, I have had this kind of thinking since the Internet gathering. I think 'A girl' is a bit pathetic, of course she is stupid enough. You have to be careful, don't become 'A girl'. We're done here. Kazumi's younger brother Minoru is about to disappear. goodbye! Kazumi and Minoru returned to the interrogation room, as if they had made a good calculation, the intercom phone rang suddenly.Tokunaga waited until it rang twice before picking up the receiver.

"Brother Wu." Wu Shang got up and answered the phone with his back to the three people at the table. "I'm Torii." Torii on the other side announced his name under the noise. "Is it convenient to talk?" "Yes, thank you for your hard work." Wu Shang replied easily. "how is the situation?" They had agreed in advance that the secret signal was "my stomach is about to ache." As long as Wu Shang didn't say this, everything would go according to the original plan.However, Torii still kept his voice down, and his attitude was rather cautious.

"As expected by Mr. Nakamoto, her boyfriend's mood was obviously shaken." "Ok." Wu Shang was a little excited, but he only responded briefly, pretending not to care.However, the three people in the interrogation room still looked at him suspiciously.What kind of eyes does Kazumi at the other end of the double-sided mirror look at the current scene? "I heard that the Kamiya Police Department mentioned the hooded jacket again, but the media hasn't reported it yet, and there's no movement on the radio, so it probably hasn't reached her boyfriend yet."

"yes?" "Didn't you say anything over there?" "Ok." "It's time to tell, right?" "Maybe we'll have to wait a little longer, eh." "If her boyfriend is leaving, I'll let you know." "learn." Takeshi hung up the microphone, pulled out the chair, and Ritsuko Kahara approached him with great interest. "Is the phone call just now related to us?" Wu put on reading glasses. "Our investigation is not limited to Mr. Sorada's murder!" "Yeah." Ritsuko shook her legs like a child.Wu Shang found that this movement was actually different from her emotions, and she was the most nervous among the three.

The air in the interrogation room has changed.A heavy atmosphere looms, as if within reach, like being in sticky wet cotton.Takeshi must swim out of here and find the exit. Mita Jiahui moved the chair and sat on a tilt, deliberately staying away from the "children".Hojo Minoru sized her up frequently, wrinkled his forehead exaggeratedly, and asked Wu Shang. "Has this woman confessed?" Jiahui jumped up in fright, the seemingly expensive bag slipped from her lap, and the contents fell out of the opening.Notepad with cosmetic bag, mobile phone, pink cover.She was as embarrassed as if the bottom of her skirt had disappeared, she hurriedly picked it up and stuffed it back into her bag.

"Are you ok?" "It's, it's okay." When Jiahui returned to his seat, Wu Shang spoke slowly. "You haven't seen each other for a long time, and the relationship is not bad." No response. "Everyone is finally here, and I have something to report to everyone." The postures of the three waiting for the message are different. "We found the millennium blue hooded jacket." The surprised expressions of the three people were also different.That was a perfectly valid response. Takegami looked at Minoru Hojo through the lens and said, "You already know about the coat from the newspapers. When the murderer strangled Imai Naoko and assassinated Soda Ryosuke, he was wearing this imported coat. At the beginning, we could not determine whether it was The vest is still a coat, but it has now been confirmed that it is a coat."

"Why are you telling me these things?" Nim said with embarrassment. "I didn't tell you." "Aren't you looking at me? That hooded jacket isn't necessarily for men, is it?" Mita Jiahui said in an unprecedented vicious tone at this perfect time: "That Canadian manufacturer has never made women's clothing, don't think I don't know." "What are you talking about!" Ren kicked the chair hard, and the iron pipe chair fell to the ground, making a loud noise.Wu Shang didn't stop him, his hands were still clasped and placed on the table.But Ritsuko Kahara spoke up.

"Don't be like this, don't make trouble!" She cried bitterly while hugging Ren. "Don't be fooled, this is her method!" "I always like to say such things, is this also your method?" Jiahui retorted her. "Kazumi, who is always a good baby, crying is your specialty." Kazumi turned around abruptly, intending to slap her. "Don't do it!" Wu Shang stopped immediately. "The recovered hooded jacket was heavily stained with blood, which should be Mr. Morada's blood." Ritsuko suddenly fell silent, and slumped on the chair weakly.Ren also picked up the iron pipe chair, set it up, and sat down. "That's Mr. Soda's blood." Takegami repeated the same words. "He's been stabbed twenty-four times." "Where... did you find it?" Ritsuko asked in a hoarse voice.Wu Shang didn't answer, but looked at Ren again. "I don't know." He suppressed a little, protesting. "You old man, don't keep staring at me." "I don't just care about you." Wushang readjusted his sitting posture, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and looked at the three of them fairly. "Have you ever heard that 'evidence speaks'? Physical evidence speaks louder than words, and it will tell us many facts. Finding the hooded jacket is equivalent to discovering the exit of this murder case." Gulu, someone swallowed. "Nevertheless, we still hope to save unnecessary procedures and time. If there is a guilty conscience among the three of you, please tell the truth here." He glanced at his watch. "I'll give you three minutes." The second hand passes exactly twelve o'clock, which is convenient for calculation. There was a silence. "W-why are you telling us this?" Ritsuko's voice trembled. "Why put us together?" Takeshi continued to look at his watch. "Thirty seconds have passed." Ren's expression was distorted, looking a little funny. "Mr. Interpol, don't you think the three of us are accomplices?" "How is that possible!" Ritsuko yelled, covering her face with her hands. "Is that so? Do you really think so? That's why you called us here?" "Old man, is there something wrong with you? Is your brain burned out?" Wu Shang still stared at his watch. "It's been a minute." Kazumi Soda also covered her mouth with her hands in surprise. "Is that true?" The voice leaked from between the fingers. "is that true?" Chikako didn't answer right away, Kazumi turned around and grabbed her hand. "Hey, is that true? Did you really find the hooded jacket?" "Yes, I found it." Zhijiazi replied quietly, "I just received the news." "Is that the hooded jacket the murderer wore?" "There is blood on it, it should be." Yuanshang inspected and came to Kazumi's side. "Miss Yimei?" "I... feel uncomfortable." Kazumi suddenly lowered her head, her messy hair covering her face. "Suddenly said that it was covered in blood, which scared people to death." "Sorry. We can't just tell you, though." "When did you find it? Was it on TV?" "It's already on the news." Immediately, Kazumi's big eyes stared at the mid-air, as if he saw something, suddenly, as if aware of an unknown change, he squatted down with his hands on his head. "I don't feel well..." she moaned. "I'm so dizzy..." Chikako also squatted down and put her hand on the girl's back, and the sound of the girl's rapid breathing was heard in her palm.Zhijiazi thought, if possible, I really want to see the emotions and thoughts rushing through this girl's body with my own eyes. The girl still turned her head, trying her best to turn it within the range.She bowed her head, closed her eyes tightly, and curled up on the ground, trying to concentrate as much as possible.Zhijiazi really wanted to tell her, don't do this, stop struggling, and choose the easiest way to go.Enough is enough, it's over, it's all over. Kazumi squatted on the ground for about a minute, then suddenly got up and roughly pushed Yuanshang away to inspect, grabbed her bag and said, "I'm going to the toilet." "Are you alone, okay?" Kazumi shouted viciously, "Don't follow!" Her tone was almost annoyed.Yuanshang inspector was taken aback and stopped quickly.At this time, Kazumi finally realized that she had lost her composure, and said with fear on her face, "I'm sorry..." "It's okay. Do you know where the toilet is? Just go to the end of the corridor and turn right." "I know." Kazumi walked out of the room, her steps were a little unsteady, and she almost dropped one of her sandals.Close the door, still hear her footsteps. "It seems a bit cruel..." Inspector Yuanshang looked down at his feet and said this sentence inadvertently. Zhijiazi waited quietly for the next sentence, but the young policewoman did not continue to speak, just said: "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that." "No need to apologize, I feel the same way." Zhijiazi then left the table, nodded to Yuanshang and walked out of the room.When the door was closed, Inspector Yuan Shang said into the microphone: "Miss Yimei left the room just now, and Ms. Shijin followed." Zhijiazi wears rubber-soled shoes and walks without making a sound. She only hears her own regular and dignified heartbeat. Just in case, she stopped in the storage room in front of the toilet and listened.An hour ago, Wu Shang and the others were still hiding in this storage room to discuss. Kazumi is not familiar with the environment here, so it is impossible to break into a nearby room arbitrarily, this action is purely just in case.Zhijiazi did not hear any sound, so she decided to go to the toilet to find out. The women's toilet on this floor is very narrow. When the door is opened, there is a sink in front of you, and there are two toilets behind it.Kazumi is probably in one of them. However, Zhijiazi explored the stairwell in front of the women's restroom in order to be more careful, but there was no one there at the moment, and there were conversations coming from the stairway below.There was an office there, and uniformed police officers would go in and out, and it was impossible for Kazumi to go down the stairs. Back in the corridor, Chikako put her ear close to the door of the women's toilet, but she couldn't hear the sound of running water or human voices. She opened the door quietly and peeped. Voices came from the innermost toilet. "Just tell you I'm fine." Shi Yimei's tone was very urgent, as if she was trying to persuade or comfort her. "Are you in the store? Don't be nervous when you see the news. It's absolutely fine, I promise. Okay? Okay? Okay! Please calm down, okay?" Or as if weeping. "Huh? Well, that's right. The police will be fine. They didn't suspect me, really! They suspected those people. That's right, my coming here has nothing to do with the murder!" She tried to lower her voice, but the end of her voice rose involuntarily.Zhijiazi thought to herself, it is really cruel, it is too cruel. However, two lives have been ruined. Compared with those murders, which one is more cruel? If it is not stopped, perhaps more people will be sacrificed.Kazumi's nimble fingers.Is there any way to stop that anger and sadness? Which is crueler? (Mr. Nakamoto!) Chikako called out in her heart, she really couldn't imagine Nakamoto lying in the intensive care unit, so she had to think back to the time when she was called to search the headquarters, the first time she saw Nakamoto, listened to his speculation, and recalled his expression at that time. (Your performance this time is too beautiful.) She slipped back into the corridor again. "Miss Yimei is talking on the phone." Ishizu Chikako's voice came from Takeshi's earphones. "No mistake, Mr. Nakamoto guessed it right." Wu Shang frowned seriously, and the three people across the table straightened their backs in unison. "Now it's Yuanshang's turn to guard in front of the women's restroom. I'll notify you as soon as she comes back." "Understood!" Takesami nodded deeply towards the double-sided mirror, and then said to Tokunaga, "Call Torii. Kazumi Soda is still on the phone." The phone rang, and Torii answered it immediately. "Brother Wu?" "How about it?" "Her boyfriend hid inside and never returned to the outfield. I only confirmed that he answered a phone call." "It was Yimei who called him. Where is the back door?" "No problem, someone is watching. Fortunately, this is a convenience store, and almost all of them have floor-to-ceiling windows." "Don't scare him away." "I know." "Don't get too excited." "Brother Wu," Torii's voice was low. "I, to some extent, learn from failures, so leave it to me." "Please. If I mess up, I'll be ashamed to see Brother Zhong." Hanging up the phone, Wu slapped Masa's own face, and asked Tokunaga: "Am I sweating?" "No problem, it looks the same as before." "You are very calm." "The recorder is like a set." Tokunaga looked up at Wu Shang. "Mr. Nakamoto is right." "Ok!" "Everything has been completed according to plan. In fact, girls nowadays are quite innocent!" "Because they're still kids." Tokunaga showed a bitter expression. "It's called 'twirling a child's hand,' isn't it?" Wu Shang did not answer. "Sorry, I'm talking nonsense." "It's okay. But don't relax at this time." Wu Shang looked back at the three people in the interrogation room, those three pairs of eyes were looking at him seriously and clearly.
